Selling your home in or near Lyon County? Contact Attig Farm Management and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand local real estate values.

You, as a homeowner, might be focused on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market. At the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for what another person is going to give you.

  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Alert you of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get.
